Jamendo - Legal and free music under Creative Commons License

I discovered this site on the French Ubuntu community, and I come to share you my discovery.

Jamendo is a website where you can find music of all genres and various independant artists who decided to share them under the Creative Commons BY-NC-ND (Attribution-No Commercial Use-Non Derivative) license, so you can legally download and share the music with your friends for free, so there is no piracy issue.

Here is the link : http://www.jamendo.com/en/

Don't hesitate to post the links to your favourite playlist !

On my side, for now I am listening to songs of an extreme power metal group called Auvernia : http://www.jamendo.com/fr/album/2544
(I shall give the link to Mr.Perv who likes this metal style LOL)

That is pretty cool, but I like limewire better.

Limewire => crappy stuff with wrong names (ex : you might get a porn video, thinking you were downloading your favourite singer's videoclip), and virus. And most of all, its main problem is the illegal use to download pirated stuff.
My Dad got a lot of virus while downloading with limewire.

So, instead of keeping practicing piracy, encourage opensource music instead. At least, artists who prefer opensource licenses make music by passion, not for money, and aren't as greedy as the big actors of the music industry who's got tainted by money who overcame the passion for music.

The French and Canadian people are under the menace of new laws who will encourage only repression and use of evil DRM, just to be on the same side than the industry's big actors who see Internet as menace instead as an opportunity for spreading culture and who are desperately persist in the old obsolete economic model. For example, the Olivennes law who took the "fight against pedopornography" only as a decoy to make people accept the law.

So, I encourage everyone to promote music under free licenses (like Jamendo and Dogmazic) instead of pirated commercial music.
